As a result, everyone hated the Zhao family even more.
There were also people who grumbled that the capital was too unsafe and that people from the enemy country could sneak in so easily.
Some of the people were just below the teahouse, and their discussions reached the second floor and reached the ears of Xiao Xieyun and Ying Xixi.
"Why does it feel like the capital is about to become a sieve? Anyone can come in and do bad things?"
“No, since the people from Linyue Country are here to rob the prison, they will definitely come to the capital no matter what method they use.
As for the others, I haven't heard of anyone sneaking into the capital."
"That being said, I don't know what His Majesty will do about the Linyue Kingdom."
"Well, you expect a tyrant?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down! There are so many people here, how dare you say those two words? Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
"I know, I know. Just tell me. Do you think the tyrant really dares to kill me in front of so many people?!
If he really did that, no matter how much he whitewashes himself, he can't hide the fact that he is a tyrant!"
........
Ying Xixi frowned when she heard the people's discussions.
To be honest, although the people always say that Xiao Xieyun is a tyrant.
But as far as she knew, Xiao Xieyun had never done anything to exploit the people.
As for how the title of tyrant came about, it was probably because Xiao Xieyun ascended to the throne by stepping on the flesh and blood of his brothers.
Moreover, after he ascended the throne, he rectified the court with swift and decisive measures.
It is said that during that period, the smell of blood could be smelled everywhere in the palace.
Xiao Xieyun thus became a tyrant in the eyes of the people.
But she felt that there must be some unknown things and some misunderstandings.
If Xiao Xieyun wants to get rid of the reputation of a tyrant, he has to clarify the misunderstanding.
but.......
Ying Xixi raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Xieyun who was sitting opposite her.
Xiao Xieyun had an indifferent expression, and seemed not to care at all about what the people were saying.
Yes, it has been ten years since Xiao Xieyun ascended the throne.
The name of tyrant has also been with him for ten years.
If he really cared about his reputation, he would not have allowed the people to call him a tyrant for ten years.
But she couldn't bear to watch it.
She didn't want Xiao Xieyun to bear the reputation of a tyrant for nothing.
She wanted to know Xiao Xieyun's past and help him get rid of the reputation of a tyrant!
Ying Xixi collected her thoughts and spoke, breaking the silence in the private room.
"Your Majesty, what did you find out from your interrogation of Mu Rong'er last night?"
Xiao Xieyun put down the teacup in his hand and said, "No, Mu Rong'er is originally a relative of the Zhao family, and she is not within the scope of the Zhao family's execution.
She was unaware of what the Zhao family had done, and she wasn't responsible for any deaths. After the interrogation, someone would release her.
Xixi asked about her, but did she want to meet her? "
Ying Xixi shook her head. "No, I don't have a good relationship with her. She used to live in the Zhao family and wanted to be Zhao Linjian's concubine or even his wife. She disliked me as his wife and would come to me from time to time to find fault."
Xiao Xieyun frowned when he heard this, "Did she bully you?"
"It's not bullying. She would just come to me and say things like Zhao Linjian married me because I'm the general's only daughter and he doesn't like me at all.
I guess he wants me to get angry and initiate divorce.
I don't like Zhao Linjian. Even though what she said didn't cause me any harm, I still retorted. Every time, she got so angry that she cried and stomped her feet away.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if she didn't have the guts or the brains to plot against me, and could only say a few words to irritate me.
Ying Xixi said this while recalling the original plot. After all, the original owner was the general's daughter, not some weak little white flower.
Every time Mu Ronger said something, the original owner would retort.
Every time Muronger came arrogantly, she would leave crying and stomping her feet, running to complain to Zhao's mother.
"I'm glad you weren't bullied. However, she did bully you verbally, so I can't let her off so easily."
A hint of coldness flashed across Xiao Xieyun's eyes.
Ying Xixi arched her brows and said, "Then I would like to thank Your Majesty in advance."
Xiao Xieyun curled his lips, held Ying Xixi's hand on the table with his big hand, and said in a meaningful tone.
"Just a verbal thank you?"
Ying Xixi blinked, "What else? Your Majesty, how do you want me to thank you?"
Xiao Xieyun scratched Ying Xixi's palm with his fingertips, flames flickered in his phoenix eyes, and he deliberately lowered his voice.
"Of course..."
Xiao Xieyun silently said five words to Xixi.
Ying Xixi understood his lip movements and glared at him.
The execution outside has begun.
Officials would interrogate criminals, behead the guilty, and release the innocent.
Although the interrogation has already been conducted, the current interrogation is also to let the people know what these criminals have done.
It serves as a warning and deterrent to crime.
After a series of interrogations, it was found that except for Muronger, the Zhao family relative, who had not done anything bad, all the other members had done bad things to some extent.
Although Zhao Yonggang was rescued, the officials did not let him go and read out his crimes one by one.
The onlookers gritted their teeth and threw the rotten eggs and vegetable leaves they brought with them at the Zhao family!
The remaining members of the Zhao family bore a lot of Zhao Yonggang's anger.
It looked extremely miserable with egg liquid and rotten vegetable leaves all over its head.
Mu Ronger was also hit by rotten eggs a few times. After she was released, she left in a mess wearing her prison uniform.
Ying Xixi, who was sitting by the window on the second floor of the teahouse, watched Mu Ronger walk through the crowd, staggering away, as if she couldn't wait to leave the capital.
